***THIEVES MARKET***
“Perfectly Uncivilized” Outdoor Shopping Experience
Debuts in Downtown Cave Creek on May 2nd

Psychotic collectors and savvy shoppers are invited to experience the Thieves Market, a first-ever outdoor shopping experience taking place in the heart of downtown Cave Creek, on Saturday, May 2nd from 7am until noon.

Whether you’re looking for something retro, indie, western or mid-century modern, the street fair taking place along Cave Creek’s main thoroughfare offers something for everyone.

The public is invited to come for the great deals and near-steals on everything from psychic readings to antique, unique one-of-a-kind finds. Shoppers are encouraged to park their cars and stroll Cave Creek Road, west of School House Road, where sellers will meet buyers with wares that can’t be found elsewhere in the Valley.

“This is not your granny’s flea market,” said spokesman Kim Brennan. “Thieves Market is an experience that only a place as funky as downtown Cave Creek can offer. Vendors are ready to part with their collections, antiques and hidden treasures. Our emphasis is on the hand crafted and the unique, not the mass produced.”

Organizers wanted an alternative to the cookie-cutter arts and crafts fairs being produced around the Valley.

“Cave Creek offers the perfect blend of shopping, scenery and originality. It’s just a short drive from north from Phoenix or Scottsdale, yet it’s like stepping away from civilization. We like to refer to it as perfectly uncivilized. Thieves Market is a reflection of that spirit.”

Thieves Market takes place on the first Saturday of every month.
